"Nose of red fruits, dusty tannins, big acidity on the palate. Firm, structured tannins, red currants, cranberry. Needs years to show it's potential. Will be great. Think Bordeaux."

"A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Merlot, Grosset's Gaia (named for the vineyard where the fruit was taken) is an impressive wine. It is a great cellaring candidate--in five years the dark fruit and oak influence will begin to weave together amazingly--but is immediately pleasurable now (with an hour or so resting patiently in a decanter)!"
